do thing* — become the mayor, save a business, or whatever —
then people will try to take credit for what you've done. So you
have to validate yourself every step of the way until other peo
ple are smart enough to aee your value."
Self-validation is not only important for personal growth, but
societal change as well, she said. It's the first step in a cycle
of change that affects ourselves, others’ attitudes, others'
behaviors and finally society as a whole.
"We're inundated with classism. racism, gender bias, but at
the same time, we're not preaching enough about loving our
neighbor," Shabazz said. "So are we psychologically prepared
to deal with diversity?"
Shabazz encouraged the women to actively "speak out and
speak up." rather than suffer through crises with silence and
dignity as they did in the past.
An audience member asked Shabazz about her husband and
commented that he would surely he very proud of the work she
has done.
'Ten sure my husband would in* proud of me." Shabazz said.
"He used to say things to me like, Why did you do that? If I
wasn't here to take care of you My God!' But really. I didn't
have to do anything then I do now Times change.
"A lot of people said, ’She's so strong.' But 1 cried all the
time.” Shabazz said "I had friends of many ethnic groups who
helped me. I honestly don't think I've recovered yet. But I ain
here before you. and Pro grateful. So find the good in life, and
keep it. Find the love in life and embrace it."

changed the world enough to
make It radically different, hut
not enough to make it work.”
she said.
Quindlen. who writes a twice
weekly column called "Public &
Private.” said what most people
think of as "women's issues"
will become of national impor
tance because they are relevant
to everyone, not just women
“Why do we denigrate those
matters we consider female?"
she asked. "Women's issues ...
am the cutting-edge issues of our
time, and we happen to be the
experts."
Quindlen devoted most of her
speech to discussing c hild care
as one of the women's issues the
United States needs to deal
vs ith.
"We need to finally get seri
ous about child care in this
country," she said
Quindlen said Hillary Rod
ham Clinton should be responsi
ble for making i hild care a civil
right, like it is in other countries.
"We havo missed child (.are as
a civil right, as it is in every
other civilized nation in the
world." she said.
Quindlen said women too
often blame themselves for the
lack of child care because they
feel selfish for having a career
and not being able to care for
their children on their own. She
cited the withdrawal of attorney
general nominee Zoe Baird ns a
perfect example of what mothers
must resort to if they want good,
affordable child care.
Baird withdrew her nomina
tion after hearing the public's
discontent over her employment
of illegal aliens for the care of
her children.
Quindlen suggested women
reach out to young men so
future generations will not be
burdened with the current level
of inequality
"If the next generation doesn't
educate the men. the problems
we’re facing now will not
change," she said. "Wo can say
no more Tailhooks, but not
without the men We can say no
more Spurr Posse, but not with
out the men."
